We're trying out DAP to see if it will help calm our dog. We have the
dispenser that plugs into an AC outlet. My question is does the dispenser
need to be plugged in continuously to be effective, or can it be plugged
in just during the time the dog is alone? The unit didn't come with much
documentation and it's not clear how long it takes to start emitting the
pheromones. TIA

I did some research on DAP. I was looking at a triple blinded placebo
controlled study on DAP that found it to have an effect.

They had it plugged in for two full weeks (I think it was two weeks
anyways... It was at least 1) prior to making observations.

The research was done in a clinic setting to try to see if they could calm
dogs that were nervous in a clinic setting.
